Headless Commerce Development

What is Headless Development?

Headless development means decoupling backend with frontend. That means the backend is used for API purposes and front development and site rendering run on modern frameworks like Reactjs.

Easy Updates and Upgrades

E-commerce platforms are regularly updated with new features and security enhancements. However, these updates often require merchants to update their websites as well. A headless solution is the best approach for this situation, as it minimizes the amount of changes needed whenever an upgrade is pushed to the e-commerce platform.

Microservices Approach

Modern e-commerce platforms and marketplaces are interconnected with multiple systems, including:

  • PIM/MDM: For product data management
  • ERP: For order management systems (OMS)
  • CRM: For cart abandonment and B2B commerce
  • Chat: For faster B2B communication between suppliers and vendors

Headless architecture provides the flexibility to connect the frontend and render all these APIs seamlessly.

Less Dependency and Easy to Build

Building a headless solution is a one-time investment, eliminating concerns about backend platform upgrades or updates. Since headless platforms are API-driven, they offer developers flexibility without relying on monolithic architecture. Any frontend developer familiar with React or Vue can easily update or modify the frontend of a headless e-commerce platform.

Search Engine Optimization

Headless solutions, including Vue Storefront, Next.js, and Gatsby.js, are ultrafast, providing better performance for users. React and Vue.js utilize modern concepts like server-side rendering and virtual DOM, enhancing speed and user experience. Additionally, headless e-commerce improves Google page experience scores (core web vitals), which are critical for search engine rankings.
